Luigi's Mansion 3 is a game from the Luigi's Mansion series for the Nintendo Switch, released on October 31, 2019. Unlike the previous games in the series, the game takes place in a hotel rather than a mansion.[2] It is the third Luigi's Mansion game in the main series, being developed by Next Level Games. The game is 6.3 GB (6,300 MB) in file size, though more with downloadable content (DLC).

Story[]

Prologue from the guide:

"One day, Luigi received a letter. The letter was sent by Hellen Gravely, the owner of a big hotel up in the mountains. When Luigi opened it, he discovered that it was a special invitation!

Congratulations, Luigi! You're the lucky winner of a free stay at a world-class hotel, The Last Resort! We look forward to dazzling you with first-rate hospitality and service. Please be sure to invite any friends or family that you'd like to bring, as well!" -Hellen Gravely

"Luigi was overcome with excitement at the letter and rushed to invite his big brother, Mario, as well as Princess Peach and a trio of Toads. Soon, they all departed for the hotel. Upon arriving at the beautiful hotel, Luigi and his friends were warmly welcomed by Hellen Gravely herself! Afterward, they were each shown to their rooms.

Little did they realize it was all a trap put in motion by Hellen Gravely in order to impress a resurgent King Boo. Awakened in the night by Princess Peach's scream, Luigi found the giant hotel swarming with ghosts. Not only that, but all of his friends had been sealed inside picture frames! Will Luigi be able to rescue his trapped friends and escape the hotel in one piece?"

Luigi, Mario, Princess Peach, and three Toads are invited to a hotel called The Last Resort for a vacation party, which they travel to via a charter bus driven by Toad. Soon after Luigi and the gang arrive inside the first/second floor Grand Lobby during broad daylight and all check in at the front desk with the bellhop/receptionist ghost called Steward, they are then introduced and later escorted by the owner of the hotel, a mysterious purple ghost woman called Hellen Gravely, to take the elevator on the first floor within the Grand Lobby upstairs and the gang all stay on the RIP Suites fifth floor. Princess Peach is seen heading towards her respective hotel room (Room 501), Mario to his (Room 502), and finally Luigi heads into his own (Room 503). Inside his hotel room, Luigi reads a novel whilst laying on a bed alongside Polterpup and quickly falls asleep.

Luigi later wakes up on a rainy night and hears Princess Peach screaming now inside a haunted hotel with everyone but Luigi gone missing, having been trapped in paintings by Luigi's nemesis, King Boo. Luigi gets out of bed with simply a flashlight in hand and exits his RIP Suites fifth floor hotel room (Room 503) and sees mysterious purple energy lurking through the hallway and walks towards the floor's elevator only to later find Hellen Gravely coming down from upstairs and walks out of the opened up elevator and shows Luigi the portraits where the remainder of the gang is trapped inside of with King Boo waiting right behind her. King Boo explains that Hellen was the one who set him free from Professor E. Gadd's ghost containment and vows revenge upon Luigi. King Boo proceeds to chase Luigi through the hallway, while placing Spirit Balls on all the hotel room doors, and attempts to trap Luigi inside a painting at the dead end of the hallway, though Luigi manages to escape by jumping into a laundry chute at the end of the hallway and falls all the way into a laundry hamper in the Basement.

Luigi is woken up by Polterpup and manages to find the Poltergust G-00 inside a red car, as well as the Dark-Light Device inside a vault on the Mezzanine second floor. After saving Professor Elvin Gadd from being trapped inside a painting on the Mezzanine second floor using the Dark-Light Device, he asks Luigi to escort him out of the hotel, although Luigi wants to save the rest of the gang first. After Luigi and Professor E. Gadd return to the garage, E. Gadd sets up his portable lab and gives him the Virtual Boo for communication. Professor E. Gadd then asks Luigi to retrieve his briefcase from the fifth floor, where Luigi recovers it from Chambrea and brings it back to him. The contents of the briefcase allow Luigi to call on Gooigi for help.

While searching the hotel for his friends, Luigi must also recover the missing elevator buttons from Boss Ghosts to access all floors. Along the way, Luigi manages to rescue the three Toads, who after being saved wait in E. Gadd's lab. However, Hellen Gravely observes this and grows more and more furious with his success, as does King Boo.

When Luigi reaches the Master Suite, Hellen Gravely berates him for capturing her staff and worries King Boo will be cross with her. She proceeds to battle Luigi directly, but Luigi manages to capture her. He then frees Mario, whose painting was hanging at the top of Hellen Gravely's room. Mario then leads Luigi to the[Rooftop where Princess Peach's painting was. After Luigi sets her free, King Boo confronts them and reveals that he found E. Gadd's lab, trapping E. Gadd and the three Toads in the same painting. He attempts to do the same to Mario, Peach and Luigi, although he only manages to get the former two as Luigi was shoved out of the way at the last second by Polterpup. King Boo, having lost his patience, then battles Luigi.

With Gooigi's help, Luigi triumphs over King Boo once more, although the hotel collapses immediately after the battle. Luigi is saved by Polterpup once more, and releases his friends from the painting. Several ghosts emerge from the ghost canister, although they become calm after King Boo's crown dissolves. Luigi, his friends, and the ghosts then work together to rebuild the hotel in E. Gadd's image, and similar to Luigi's NEW Mansion from the first game, the rebuilt hotel takes a different look depending on how much money the player ends the game with. Professor E. Gadd, Gooigi and the ghosts then wave farewell while everyone else departs in the charter bus. Luigi then falls asleep on the bus with Polterpup as it rides into the sunset.

Gameplay[]

Luigi's Mansion 3 plays much like the two previous entries in the series, Luigi's Mansion and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, returning to a singular setting much like the first game while featuring a variety of themed floors akin to the second game's mansions, allowing the player to re-explore already completed rooms.[3][4] The Poltergust G-00 retains the basic qualities of the two previous vacuums, as well as the Strobulb item and the Dark-Light Device,[5] though adds a targeting mechanism when blowing out items or a plunger.[6][7] It also introduces new abilities, such as slamming ghosts on the ground or into each other, firing a grabable plunger with the Suction Shot, and creating a shockwave or being lifted up with a Burst. Luigi has a new device known as the Virtual Boo (VB), a parody of the Virtual Boy, which serves the same function as the Game Boy Horror and Dual Scream did from the two previous games. The money collected with the Poltergust G-00 can be used to buy Gold Bones (1,000 G), Boo Finder cartridges (1,000 G), Gem Finder cartridges (1,000 G), and also to buy hints from the Virtual Boo's E. Gadd Hotline while in the Lab inside the Basement to find in-game floor themed collectible gems and other various puzzles, which when brought will activate the HD Rumble in the Joy-Cons when getting close to a gem or Boo in morse code while in certain rooms on floors when using Gooigi, which can also be felt when using the Poltergust G-00.[8][9] Professor E. Gadd will sometimes suggest Luigi to come to his Lab in the Basement to buy hints from him to solve the floor's puzzles and such whenever the player is struggling, though hints can be turned off in the Guide/Settings menu. There are six floor themed gems and one Boo on each floor.[10] The game automatically fully saves progress whenever entering a room or elevator after ten seconds. There are in-game achievements for certain objectives. Story mode (co-op), ScareScraper (co-op), and ScreamPark can't be played in co-op multiplayer on the Nintendo Switch Lite without detached official Nintendo Switch Joy-Cons. There's a brightness slider to control the hue of a given area from darker to lighter in the game's Settings. Story mode can be beaten in roughly five to ten hours.[11]

Gooigi, introduced in the Nintendo 3DS remake of the first Luigi's Mansion, reappears and is stored in the Poltergust G-00, hence Gooigi. Gooigi has 25 HP, while Luigi has 99 HP, and can be called upon to pass obstacles Luigi cannot, such as spikes and bars. However, it is weak to fire and water, and will lose all its health immediately if it comes into contact with them, causing it to immediately return to Luigi.[12] Losing all HP is going to get the player a Good Night. And it is not good at all when it shows King Boo having Luigi, Mario, Professor E. Gadd, Princess Peach, and the two Toads trapped inside paintings and it ends saying, "Good Night!"[13] Luigi and Gooigi cannot be controlled at the same time in single-player mode, but Gooigi can be controlled by a second player with the second Joy-Con (R) controller for co-op multiplayer. If Luigi attempts to enter a door with Gooigi out, Gooigi will automatically retract into the Poltergust G-00.[14]

ScareScraper[]

Like its direct predecessor, ScareScraper also returns, allowing for up to eight-player co-op multiplayer (via four Luigis and four Gooigis)[15] to clear either 5, 10, or a random amount of floors between two to ten, with a five minute time limit for each floor, except the Rooftop, which has a time limit of roughly ten minutes. The mode also features procedurally generated floors, with different challenges on each floor such as Capture the Ghosts!, Find the Toads!, and Collect the Money!. It acts very similar to its prequel appearance, though adds new abilities and functions such as the super suction,[16] super strobe, a red siren trapdoor detector helmet, voice chat, and the Blackout. Boolossus awaits the Luigis and Gooigis at the top of the ScareScraper hotel Rooftop upon completing all the set floors. ScareScraper is more challenging than story mode, however.

ScreamPark[]

A multiplayer party mode where two teams called Team Luigi and Team Gooigi consisting of Luigis and Gooigis respectively, set to compete against each other on different levels with a two minute time limit where they have to capture the most Goobs (Ghost Hunt), collect the most coins while riding floaties in an indoor swimming pool (Coin Floating), and manage to avoid hitting a wooden castle pellet trap and smash the most bullseye targets on the ends of a rotating wooden pirate wheel to win (Cannon Barrage).

Nintendo Website Description[]

Luigi's dream vacation turns into a ghostly—and gooey— nightmare! Luigi embarks on a dream vacation with Mario and friends upon receiving an invitation to a luxurious hotel. However, his dream quickly becomes a nightmare when King Boo reveals everything had been a ploy to capture Mario and friends. With the assistance of Professor E. Gadd once again, the reluctant and cowardly hero Luigi traverses up and down treacherous floors of the now-ominous hotel on a quest to save them. Wield the upgraded Poltergust G-00 to slam and blow away the ghosts' defenses, or summon Gooigi, an all-green doppelganger that can help Luigi overcome obstacles he can’t get past alone. Interchange between Luigi and Gooigi as one player, or grab a friend and control one each. For more frenetic multiplayer action, race the timer to clear various objectives on a series of floors in ScareScraper mode. ScareScraper mode can be played online* or locally with up to eight players on four Nintendo Switch systems (additional games required; sold separately).

Reception[]

Critical reception[]

Luigi's Mansion 3 received mostly positive reviews from critics, who singled out the graphics, fun and addictive gameplay, story, characters, level design, and puzzles; though some dismissed the controls for being outdated and inappropriate for the controllers, especially the use of the right analog stick. At the Game Awards 2019, Luigi's Mansion 3 won the award for Best Family Game.

Luigi's Mansion 3 on Metacritic, received "generally favorable" reviews holding a metascore of 86/100 based on 103 critic reviews.[58]

Sales[]

In the UK, Luigi's Mansion 3 topped the charts within a week of its release as the best-selling Switch game of 2019, and upon release was only under Call of Duty: Modern Warefare.[59] By the end of December 2019, the game sold 5.37 million copies making it the 10th best-selling Nintendo Switch game. As of March 2020, it reached 6.33 million copies. It was reported to have sold above 9.13 million units as of the end of 2020. The game reached 9.59 million units sold at the end of march 2021.

Trivia[]

  • Luigi's new Poltergust was teased in a trailer for the inclusion of Simon Belmont in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, almost a month before Luigi's Mansion 3 was made known to the public. It's name is Poltegust G-00 and there are many improvements to the original models, being able to throw plungers and a jet propulsion which makes Luigi jump.
  • This is the fourth Mario game to star only Luigi, with the first being Mario is Missing!
  • This is the first Luigi's Mansion game to feature a Black Hole. In this case, it is a giant painting that is devouring the hotel that serves as the game's focus.
  • This is also the first Luigi's Mansion game where Princess Peach physically appears. She was absent in the first two games, but she was mentioned by Toad in the first game.
